Imre de Jonge Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 "By grouping clips, you can select and edit an entire group of clips by simply selecting or editing any group member." I am finding this isn't true. After creating a group, the selection, mute, solo, etc. remains track-by-track, as if they weren't grouped. Am I missing something? I record 10-track drum takes, and though my take lanes are grouped, as set in prefs, they behave no differently and I have to solo each of the 10 tracks one-by-one to hear my different takes. Same when not using take lanes. I was hoping the grouping feature would remove this drudgery... what's the solution? Folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 AFAIK grouped clips only respond to edits together (and only certain kinds of edits). Track strip functions are still just track strip functions, not clip functions, so they shouldn't be affected by clip grouping.

Amberwolf Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 If you want the solo for 10 tracks to respond together, you have to group the solo buttons themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Like amberwolf said look at group the solo buttons. Folders are great. If you’re not using them, then you’re missing out on a big feature. With folders, you can solo and mute the entire set of tracks in the folder with one click. I’m not sure exactly what you’re doing. If you explain a little more detail, we might even better help.

Thanks everyone for the tips. Folders are definitely a great solution I got into shortly after my post, but, it means my console remains cluttered with 10 track strips for each take rather than just one set when I use take lanes. I don't get why grouping take lane clips doesn't group their function buttons as well... you'd think, right? I can't find any way to group solo buttons, either on the take lanes or on their parent tracks. (they're not selectable, they're just switches) I don't think that is possible. The only group command I can find is in the clips menu "create clip selection group" but this is greyed out. I can find no settings related to groups or their behavior in preferences. Bottom line is the grouping function just doesn't seem to work as advertised: an efficient way to review different takes in multi-track take lanes. Cheers.
